Sparks, Of tho General Land Office haa
received = letter from = public land
entryman in Eastern Colorado, that the
drought has already greatly damaged the
crop in that section and il it continues
much longer the crops will be . complete
failure; that insects have destroyed the
growing vegetables and there is NO feed for
stock. The entryman states that his
%neighbors are forced to leave their holdings

if this absence will operate to defeat their
claim when fnal proofs, II any proof 10

THE COMMISSIONERS ANSWER

General and Office, with respect to their
cases, (which it is stated there are q
large number in different points of the

1.-THE distressing situation which you
have mentioned appealst to my strong Gym
pathy in favor of the actual settlers in the
public domain who are suffering from
drought and loss OF crops,a and whatever
relief may be possible within the discretion
OF this Office will be extended, to enable
them to preserve their claims. Settlers
who are obliged to leave their claims on &C
count OF the drought should be prepared 10
account for their absence from this cause,
when they make final proof: but in such
cases proof should bot be offered until the
law has been fully complied with after
their return to the land. Enforced
absence on account of climatic reasons
will not imperil their claim il the fact IL
when proof il made and il the
proof is not attempted to be made in adj
vance of the time when the residence and
and civilizations required by
the law can be satisfactorily shown.
